It is a Friday afternoon so let's have a mindless thread. Let's see how many numbers we can get that, in a certain context, refer to a thing in your mind. And how obscure we can get with the context.
Some examples. 747 will go straight to a plane in a lot of people's mind. As a retro computer fan, 64 will mean Commodore 64 to me. 6581 will be the wonderful SID sound chip, 1541 the disk drive. 2600 will be the Atari games console. There are loads of computing ones like 386, 486, 8088 etc. 92 in the context of football will twig with most people.
We will take a number 1 and a number 2 as read. The simple rule is that just the number will mean a certain thing to a lot of people.
Go.
